When you tie two pieces of rope together in a knot, they become one piece of rope. And that’s the idea with marriage, too: two people become one.Tying the knot in English means to get married. And marriage is like being tied together with a knot, making your lives into one life. Married people are joined together, bound by the promises they made to each other and some higher power.
Still, not everyone is ready or able to tie the knot. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been in love for quite a while. They even have kids together. But they are waiting to get married until same-sex marriages are legal in the US. They might want to tie the knot, but they are waiting because of political reasons.

I think tying the knot means to get married in this lesson,but this slang should be using on the proper right way. In our country we don’t agree any woman to have a pregnant status before she get married with any manand it is not a good idea to have a pregnant status with any of a man before a woman get married with him too,also from the News I know Angelina rushed into Brad’s ex-marriage,may be this is the reason caused Brad and Jennifer’s marriage failed and they get divorced, but from the News we know Brad and Angie already have babies,so Brad needs to take the responsibility to be a responsible husband to marry with Angie,if Brad wants to be a nice husband,anyway I think both of them are crazy people.I think it’s a pity, because Brad and Jennifer are such a beautiful couple on the screen,but Brad choose Angie anyway,so person must take responsible to what they made in their life, because everyone’s life only one time,when life gone away you can’t ask God to give you one more chance and back to this world again and live in the same old world again.
